Hiang Thian Siang Ti Temple (also written Guan Thian Siang Ti; GPS: 1.55842, 110.34556) is a Cantonese Taoist temple in Kuching. Located at No. 22, Jalan Carpenter, it was completed in 1889 by the Chinese settlers from Guangdong Province of southern China. It is called Lao Ya Keng in Teochew. Inside the temple is a small tortoise pond. As with most Taoist temples, it has a stage erected directly in front of it, for opera performances to entertain the deities. The stage here is located on the opposite side of Carpenter Street.
The feast day of the Guan Thian Siang Ti Temple is on the 4th day of the 12th lunar month. The area in front of the temple is occupied by food traders selling all sorts of local delicacies.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
